Isla Iguana, Wildlife refuge on Azuero Peninsula, Panama
The island encompasses 55 hectares of land with white sand beaches and contains a vast coral reef system spanning 15 hectares in the Gulf of Panama.
During World War II, the United States military used the island for target practice, leaving visible craters and unexploded ordnance that necessitate staying on marked paths.
The protected sanctuary stands as a testament to Panama's commitment to marine conservation, supporting research initiatives and environmental education programs since 1981.
Visitors can reach the island through boat services departing from Playa El Arenal near Pedasi, with journeys taking approximately 20 to 30 minutes across open water.
The island hosts a colony of 5,000 frigate birds and features a 500-year-old coral reef system where 12 coral types and 200 fish species thrive.
